The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Man must realize that he has a power in him which is greater than all other powers, and this power is his will. Anger is a power, for it is a part of the energy which manifests as anger. Excitement, passion, and other emotions are manifestations of one energy, yet all such powers are in the hands of one single power, namely the will. They are ruled, controlled, and utilized by it. A person cannot be angry unless his will is at the back of it. He has to have the willpower to defend himself, otherwise the anger would be helpless. The anger is there, but the willpower is greater. If the willpower is not behind it the faculty will not work, even if not suppressed. As long as the willpower does not help, the faculty is ineffective, though present.
